In this paper, we present mean gas and dust opacities relevant to the physical conditions typical of protoplanetary discs. As the principal absorber for temperatures below ~1,500 K, we consider spherical and aggregate dust particles of various sizes, chemical structure, and porosity, consisting of ice, organics, troilite, silicates, and iron. For higher temperatures, ions, atoms, molecules, and electrons are included as the main opacity sources. Rosseland and Planck mean opacities are calculated for temperatures between 5 K and 10,000 K and gas densities ranging from 10^{-18} g/ccm to 10^{-7} g/ccm. The dependence on the adopted model of dust grains is investigated. We compare our results with recent opacity tables and show how different opacity models affect the calculated hydrodynamical structure of accretion discs.

  1. The evolution of the galaxy gas-phase mass-metallicity relation from $z=15$ to $z=0$ in the COLIBRE cosmological simulations

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    COLIBRE simulations find the galaxy gas-phase MZR already in place at z≈10 with little evolution until z≈5, then shallowens at low z, with high-mass turnover set by AGN feedback and low-mass end by core-collapse supernovae.

  2. Radiation-pressure instability is an artifact of constant-$\alpha$ closure. Implications for AGN disk tensions

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Requiring thin-disk solutions to be thermally stable and single-valued imposes η_x ≡ dlnα/dlnX > 4/7, and a viscosity law α∝X^p with p>4/7 removes the radiation-pressure unstable branch.

  3. The effect of outflow launching radial efficiency of accretion disk on the shape of emission-line profiles

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In the FRADO model, a photon-flux-dependent cloud emissivity makes broad-line profiles insensitive to the radial scaling of the disk mass-loss rate, while under uniform emissivity a steeper r^-3/2 scaling better match...
